xPeak Advantage
One platform for realistic traffic and integrated security validation
xPeak Hurricane combines realistic stateful traffic generation with integrated security validation in a single, software-defined platform. Its deploy-anywhere architecture enables testing across dedicated appliances, commercial off-the-shelf x86 servers, virtual environments, private clouds, and public cloud infrastructures — allowing you to validate your firewall in the same environments in which it will ultimately operate.
- Mix legitimate application traffic with malware, DDoS attacks, CVE exploits, and MITRE ATT&CK techniques
- Understand how your firewall behaves under realistic operating conditions and evolving threat landscapes
- Generate millions of new connections per second and emulate hundreds of millions of concurrent sessions
- Validate that your firewall maintains security effectiveness and delivers consistent performance — even under peak loads
